Actually.. the songwriting part is only the easy part if you aren't working in the commercial music industry. If you are working there, then it affects your songwriting and that process a great deal. Same with the recording process.

Professionals are forced to take commerce into mind through the entire process. Sure, someone who is an amateur can create their work in a vacuum and sometimes still find success or opportunity. But it's rare to do it that way.

It's like the softball league player. Doing it for fun means you have a life away from your summer league games. Playing Pro baseball means you live and breath it 24/7 365. It affects everything you do at all moments of your life. Music is the same thing. Play in a garage band, write songs on your own and do what you want. But step into the Professional arena and expect it to be a full time concern where other people's opinions often mean more than your own if you want their money.
